Re: this is good
Now we (non-USA countries) will be able to negotiate in a transparent manner. Also, we will be able to do it as partners rather than from a defensive position.
Not so fast. Let's not forget that OUR respective governments (and Brussels) engaged in this too without asking much in the way of input from citizens (hence the furore when it finally leaked). I agree with you that it's good news in that they can now try again amongst themselves, but it's also time to remind them that democracy doesn't mean 5 wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner..
